These mini classes take about 15 minutes each and the curriculum walks you through a whole investing curriculum starting with no knowledge of investing at all. You don't even need to be able to do math for 98% of the classes---because it's not about math---it's about learning new concepts and new ways of thinking.

You can even use the classes to accumulate points for free books, resources, and a free two-month Morningstar premium membership.

Little by little, you can teach yourself to change your world for the better.
